Dear Friends: I can't believe the 2013 season is already upon us! What a grand season it is going to be. As I have traditionally done in past autumn editions of the e-News, I'd like to give you a brief description of what you can expect at all of this year's halftime shows. Learn more. |
Sneak Preview a Resounding Success
|

The 11th annual Husky Football Sneak Preview might not have been as much of a preview to the season as in the past, due to its move from August to September, but it was clearly the most successful! It was also the best-attended Sneak Preview, with close to 300 Husky Band supporters in attendance. Learn more. |
Where Are They Now? |

The Husky Band is pleased to announce that Kristina Terwilliger has been selected as the band’s next Feature Twirler. It is no secret to Husky Stadium faithful that the student holding this coveted position must possess an incredible level of expertise and showmanship to live up to the legacy built across the decades since Helen Bassetti was first selected in 1937.
